It takes dedication on your part. Remember your dog can't understand what he hasn't been taught. Start with simple training commands.

This has two positive outcomes:

1. It will exhaust him, even if you spend 10 min a day making him sit and making him come to you. Even if he knows those commands, repetition is key. When he gets it right praise him and/or reward him accordingly. When he gets it wrong, make a "no" sound that he will then associate with not getting it right. Things like "oh oh" "no" ... I personally like to use sound instead of words so that it is very specific. I use "EH EH" in a higher tone

2. By letting him know what happens when he does something good and what happens when he does something that you don't like, then you can use that "no" sound in other situations that you would like to correct.

REPEAT REPEAT REPEAT. That is how they learn, they want to know what they should do. Give it try, nothing to loose really.
